UCF Game Thread

Well, I was on a delay, but I'm happy. I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying the Huskies are going to tie the UCLA men's old run of 88 in a row...

 

[oldude]

The Huskies shooting 72% from the floor & 58% from the FT line???

 

[HoopsFan21]

Chong for 3!!! 48-16

 

[StephStorrs]

"She's just as happy with the assist." A really nice compliment from the announcers to Kia! It's nice to see people notice and compliment her unselfish play.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Geno not happy with the passing

 

[nyfanofwbb]

Sloppy passing

 

[MilfordHusky]

Geno happy with defense and "if only we could make a free throw" he'd be even happier.

8-14 FT shooting is weak.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Geno not happy with the passing

Understandably. Saniya threw 2 in a row to the other team. Crystal threw one to them earlier.

 

[nyfanofwbb]

What is with the shorts on UCF player ??

 

[MilfordHusky]

Lou diving on the floor for a loose ball. She's expanding her game.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Bent in for Kia

 

[HoopsFan21]

I'll take a 36-point lead with 10 minutes left to play...

My word, Justine is stunning today.

My god who is that screaming on the broadcast? Does Nikki McCray work for UCF too?

 

[nyfanofwbb]

I myself would like to see what Kyla's got! What's he waiting for..

 

[nyfanofwbb]

Here she comes!

 

[nyfanofwbb]

Kyla will get no more then a good 2 minutes.

 

[MilfordHusky]

UCF is starting to make shots.

Pheesa swishes two in a row from 17'. Smoooooooth!

 

[HoopsFan21]

TLaw and Kyla and Crystal Dangerfield are in!

That's quite the...singular free throw shooting motion.

Well this was a good news, good news game. The good news is this was an easy win from start to finish and everyone played. The other good news is that the Huskies have a lot of things to work on tomorrow in practice which will allow Geno to be legitimately upset with the team's performance, thereby establishing the basis for a really tough practice.

 

[JordyG]

Honestly after the first quarter this team played with a distinct lack of focus and intensity. Geno's going to have plenty to harp on from now until East Carolina and beyond. Crystal Dangerfield is also going to continue to be the focus of Geno's ire, and deservedly so.

 

[HuskyNan]

Meg Culmo was right - it was a New Year's Day game at midday, on the road, against a team that's not as talented. The players are human; a loss of focus is unsurprising.

Very strange game to me. The play was generally good but a lot of strange turnovers. Good to Very Good performances of our 4 horseman but nothing truly great. Guess this is what it will look like in conference play. Best news is no foul trouble at all.

Had a chance to see the GW vs Duquense game (75-40). Jen Rizzotti did a brilliant job. GW looked like UConn with very impressive motion offense and perpetual in your face team defense.
